Something old, something new in road projects

Something old is getting a fresh face while something new rolls steadily along.

Bossier Parish highway department workers are currently working on sections of streets in Forest Hills subdivision, giving a fresh layer of asphalt to make the way a little smoother for residents.

Meanwhile, contractors for the parish are making steady progress on the first section of a new Swan Lake Rd. Crews are moving plenty of dirt on the south end of the project to mark the route of the new roadway that will extend from I-220 to Flat River.

While that work continues, other workers are working on base material on the northern stretch of the road near the Flat River bridge.

Parish highway department crews work on an overlay project that is under way on sections of streets in Forest Hills subdivision.
